    Apple would be acceptable if they weren't so expensive, but I don't trust Google any more and W8 is an unusable clusterfuck.

    I guess the saying is true - you get what you pay for.

    Holy shit that's bad reading on your part

    GGP - "I'm not a big fan of excessive radiation"
    GP - "You don't like the sun?"
    You - "are you suggesting that solar radiation never poses a risk under any circumstances?"
    Me - WTF are you reading?

    Fine, what's your actual solution then?

    Because lack of accountability isn't a solution. It's adding to the problem.

    That's bullshit.

    NASA says CO2 has been below this level for 650,000 years. Good enough for you?

    This is the one that scares me the most.
    "The oceans have absorbed much of this increased heat, with the top 700 meters (about 2,300 feet) of ocean showing warming of 0.302 degrees Fahrenheit since 1969."

    That's a lot of freaking water heated.

    Wait, a week ago it was COLD! Holy shit global warming must be false!

    I love how Ayn-Randian followers always assume that all corporate behaviors are or will be public, so we the people can act accordingly.

    Even this somewhat obvious example wouldn't have become public except for a complete cock up by an exec.

    Hate to tell you, but the purchasing conditions DID allow Ford to do so.

    You opt-in when you buy from (at least) Ford.
